Perhaps the most vital, emotionally complex and lasting attachments between women occur between sisters. Whether as best friends or antagonists, sisters remain entangled in a common tapestry of mutual experience and remembrance, family and history, according to author Eva Rueschmann. Although many of the women-centred films in the last three decades depict the relationship between sisters as a pivotal aspect of a character's psychological development, the now substantial body of feminist film criticism has not taken up this theme in any sustained way.
About the Author: Eva Rueschmann is Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies at Hampshire College.
